The Night

(Verse 1)

Well, I walked into the bar feelin' all slick and smooth,

Caught a glimpse of somethin’ fine and thought, “Oh, I've got moves.”

She was dancin' like a dream, in a little black dress,

So I threw on my charm, gave it my best.

(Chorus)

I said, “Hey there, darlin’, are you here alone?”

She winked back and smiled with a voice like a stone.

I thought, "Man, she’s mysterious, strong and sweet,"

Guess that extra shot made my vision incomplete.

(Verse 2)

So we laughed and we joked, talked about life,

She said, “I love a guy who can handle the night.”

I bought her a drink, she bought me one too,

I thought, "Tonight's my lucky break, oh, what a view!"

(Chorus)

I said, “Hey there, darlin’, are you here alone?”

She winked back and smiled with a voice like a stone.

I thought, "Man, she’s mysterious, strong and sweet,"

Guess that extra shot made my vision incomplete.

(Bridge)

Then she took my hand, pulled me close and tight,

And her grip was stronger than it seemed at first sight.

She whispered, “You’re cute, got a bit of nerve,

But I think there's something you might’ve swerved.”

(Verse 3)

I blinked and I stared, thought, "Something’s off,"

But I’d gone too far, I couldn't just walk off.

Then the lights got bright, I could see clear again,

And realized I’d been wooing a gentleman!

(Chorus)

I said, “Hey there, darlin’, I’m... glad to know,

Though my beer goggles lied, now the truth does show.”

She laughed like thunder, said, “It’s all just fun,

A friend is what you need, not a midnight run.”

(Outro)

So I paid my tab, gave a nod and a cheer,

Learned a little lesson ‘bout romance and beer.

Now I tell the tale with a blush and a grin,

Of the night I found love... with a new best friend.
